Sixers forward Dominick Barlow has been diagnosed with a lumbar spine bone stress response after undergoing imaging, the team announced Monday (Twitter link via Derek Bodner of PHLY Sports).
Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a lumbar spine bone stress response, the team announced on Monday. The 23-year-old power forward will be reevaluated after two weeks and is scheduled to miss at least the first seven games of the 2026/27 regular season.
Barlow, who did not play during the preseason due to the back issue, emerged as a key rotation player under head coach Nick Nurse last season. His absence further depletes Philadelphia's frontcourt, which also lost free agent center Ariel Hukporti to a torn Achilles tendon during the preseason.
